For that type of entertainment value, I understand.
What bothers me, is folks like you and I lived through those times and have some perspective.
Younger people have no clue how convoluted the Stone movie was. It twists their grasp of what truly took place.
Characters and events were joined. That angers me.
For all the hoopla about Garrison, I think the guy was on some level actually working on things the feds wouldn’t follow up on.
I do think he was a fraud to a certain extent, but some of the people he tried to interview, did meet with untimely deaths just prior to his interviews. Something was going on there. I don’t like it all being swept under the rug.
In the day, I listened to Garrison interviews on radio from Fort Worth (or Dallas). The guy wasn’t a complete loon. At least one local radio personality thought he was on to something, as if that makes it true or not. Still, I’ve never been convinced he was a total wipe-out.
Actually I was pretty young when JFK was shot, my parents were upset that day naturally but it meant little to me at the time or even ever. He was young, good looking and charismatic and in office so short one could imagine anything they wanted from him, (C Matthews used to say Obama was JFK LOL)
I read a book on the Bay of Pigs and JFK didnt look that great in it. Stone tried to build him up as another crucified Jesus, in fact that EXACT analogy was made in the movie by Donald Sutherland playing ex-US OSS The whole movie theme is so preposterous and Stone makes him into a brave hero risking his family for the ‘truth’ for promoting a bunch of nutty theories, Johnson, Castro, American Cubans, Military, defense contractors, Mafia, everybody was in on killing JFK.
But then again I watch and laugh at Moores movies too, and people calling in CSPAN actually believe them.
